Hi, I'm building a canned ham from scratch. I bought an RV door with screen door from a surplus supplier and it is 72 inches tall, which is about 10-12 inches taller than what would be ideal for my side profile that I have already built. I am planning to remove the excess height from the bottom of the door.
Has anyone here shortened one of these?
Where my problem lies is that I bought a wider axle to have my tires outboard of the frame for the sake of stability, but my floor is 65 inches long & I would like to have some balance to the looks of it as well as having acceptable tongue weight. As it stands with the current height door, I will have to have the axle placed at the extreme rear of the frame rails and clearing the fender with the door is going to be an issue.
I am also planning to skin over the fiberglass door with polished aluminum diamond plate as well, but if anyone has prior experience in shortening a door I am very interested to hear what you have to say about it.
Thanks,
Danomite
